Investigators in the search for Nancy Guthrie are “actively reviewing” new Ring doorbell camera footage from a neighbor that captures vehicles traveling near her Tucson-area home on the night she was abducted.
The development comes as the Pima County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Friday that a man arrested for DUI outside the 84-year-old’s home Thursday night is not connected to Guthrie’s disappearance.
The FBI continues to sift through up to 10,000 hours of surveillance footage as part of the ongoing investigation. One clip, obtained Thursday by Fox News Digital, shows a car driving down a nearby street around 2:30 a.m. on the night Guthrie went missing - a timeframe that aligns with when investigators believe the abduction occurred.
The street in the footage is about two-and-a-half miles from Guthrie’s home, just outside the initial two-mile radius where authorities had asked residents to review their security cameras and submit relevant video.
“Investigators are actively reviewing surveillance video of vehicles traveling in the Catalina Foothills area, including areas farther from the Guthrie residence,” a Pima County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said Friday, urging homeowners in surrounding neighborhoods to provide any footage they have not yet submitted.
TMZ reported earlier Friday that a source connected to the investigation indicated the FBI has reviewed the footage and determined it does not yield any useful leads.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office referred earlier inquiries from The Independent about the FBI's dismissal of the video to federal authorities. The Independent has contacted the FBI for comment.
Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her Catalina Foothills home February 1. This week, officials confirmed that all of her family members have been cleared as suspects.
FBI officials said Thursday that the agency is moving the investigation command post from Tucson to Phoenix, though some agents will stay in Tucson to assist the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
On Friday, the sheriff’s department also identified 34-year-old Antonio De Jesus Pena-Campos as the man arrested Thursday night outside Guthrie’s home on misdemeanor DUI charges. Pena-Campos’ arrest is unrelated to the Guthrie investigation, PSCD officials confirmed.
A new report also revealed that Nancy Guthrie’s daughter, “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, intends to return to work. Two NBC sources told CNN Thursday that she plans to come back at some point, though the timing will be entirely up to her.
Earlier this week, the TV star announced that her family had raised the reward for her mother’s return to $1 million.
"We also know that she may be lost, she may already be gone," Savannah Guthrie said. "She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother Pierce and with our daddy."
The sheriff’s department assured the public Friday that the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance remains active and will continue until she is located or all leads have been exhausted.
“The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is refocusing resources to detectives specifically assigned to this case. As leads are developed and resolved, resource allocation may fluctuate. PCSD will maintain a patrol presence in the Guthrie neighborhood,” a spokesperson said.
